For a snack I tried the Colombian Chicken Empanada - it came with a side of sauce (similar to a chimichurri type) that was perfect for it. Definitely a hit for me for both food and coffee. The service was prompt, and the guy working the counter was nice. But where this place really shined for me was the ambiance and the seating. It is comfortable without trying too hard to be hipster. The seating choices show consideration for folks wanting to set up shop and stay for a while, whether it's to read or work, and they really do come through. The leather couch they have was so comfy, I wished I had more time to just sit and enjoy my drink with a good book. But even if you can't grab a spot on the couch, the chairs at the tables actually have cushioning, so if I was trying to sip and work, this is where I'd go. I really do wish I lived closer but on nice days when I'm interested in a drive, I plan to head back here!

Strawberry cream cheese danish was really nice w very fruity strawberry jam & crispy pastry. Ham & Swiss handpie was pretty good. Really delicious & thickly sliced ham.

A lot more to try & a really cool place to chill out.

I ordered a THAI CLOUD through the website, and when it was picked up, I realised it didn't match…read morewhat I ordered. It was missing the cream shown on the menu, and I know how it should look since I've ordered before. I understand they may have run out since it was late (around 8:45pm), but it's disappointing that no one informed us. They could've at least explained it to the person picking up the order instead of saying nothing. I ended up paying full price for an incomplete product. -also, at least at the NorthRiver Side location, the sugar level option doesn't seem to be respected. Whether you ask for 25% or 50%, the drinks always taste like 100%. If that can't be controlled, it shouldn't be listed as an option. -as a frequent customer, I used to earn points and redeem them for a free boba, a couples weeks ago I was told that option was no longer available. I really like the drinks here, but overall there needs to be better communication and more transparency with customers.

I stopped by on a Monday and ordered a smoothie and a wrap. The smoothie came out in a reasonable…read moreamount of time, but it was missing ingredients. The food, however, took nearly 30 minutes--and every 10 minutes or so, someone came over to let me know yet another ingredient was unavailable. When the food finally arrived, it was lukewarm and the avocado was rubbery. I felt sick trying to eat it. To be clear, the staff members were incredibly kind and professional--it's not their fault that management can't keep basic ingredients in stock. I even thanked them for their effort and time. But the food itself was just not edible. They kindly brought over the blonde male manager to process a refund, and that's where things went downhill. He was extremely rude and dismissive. I remained polite, but he clearly didn't care about the experience or the quality of what was served. Honestly, he should've been embarrassed--there's no way he would have eaten what I was given. Overall, a horrible experience saved only by the professionalism of the frontline staff. Management, especially the manager I interacted with, was the real disappointment.

I don't know if it is actually open to the public or just for members and guests at FFC. I've been coming here for years, but never realized it had its own Yelp page. Today, I am enjoying a post-swim 12-ounce "Energizer": Orange, cucumber, carrot, and apple juice. It is priced heartily at $6.60, tax included. It is prepared fresh, so be prepared for a short wait for the fresh juices and smoothies. There is also a grab-and-go cooler with many different energy drinks, bottled water, and flavored waters. I think $6.60 for a fresh juice and $7.85 for a fresh fruit smoothie is probably the going rate in this area. That price is too high for me to be a regular thing, but I enjoy one once a month.

We arrived late morning, and the coffee shop wasn't crowded, but had a few patrons. It was a Sunday morning. It was really hot and humid outside, so we appreciated the air conditioning. We chose to sit at a table inside. I looked at the menu. I did feel that the coffee menu wasn't extravagant, as most of the items were pretty basic. My husband chose an iced chai, and I chose an iced coffee with nonfat milk. I appreciate places that carry nonfat milk, as several do not. The bakery menu was quite a bit more extravagant. My husband chose the banana cake, and I chose a parmesan truffle roll. Later, I noticed that they had an Italian Beef roll (a true Chicago specialty), but I had already ordered the parmasean truffle roll. Honestly the pastries were amazing. Service was fast and the coffee and chai were good. We sat inside and had some interesting chats with some of the customers. I think that that though the coffee menu is basic, the products are good. The bakery items are delicious, and it seems to be a real community hub where locals enjoy spending time.
